    Guardian Cap

    I was shocked to see only 1 player wearing a Guardian Cap in week 1 (Jabril Peppers). Perhaps after what happened tonight more players will begin to wear them this weekend.

    League knows the problems they continue to have with concussions.

     

    I would be all over making this protection mandatory.

     

    The damage being done is cumulative.

    Harris / Trump Debate.

    Fair enough, 

     

    I do however think Kamala Harris had to also weather many of the main talking points and do her fair share of defending the Biden administration.

     

    Trump was given an opportunity to defend his position/words/ actions. I'm not sure that was such a bad thing.

    I think it was a close contest, notwithstanding the sickening ABC bias.

     

    Trump's closing argument was very good and very necessary, because IMO he was behind going into the closing argument.

     

    If she becomes president the world becomes a much worse place. Nothing she said tonight changes my mind.

    I thought just the opposite. Trump did a decent job until closing arguments. Then blew it when he had the opportunity to end the night with something people can hang their hat on. 

    A Few Thoughts about the Cardinals Game, in no particular order

    Allen averaged 10 yards per passing attempt yesterday and the Bills had 14 plays that gained more than 10 yards.  McDermott/Brady kept the Cards in the game with "play not to lose" football on the last couple of possessions.  It was as if they thought Tyrod Taylor was still their quarterback.  

     I was very happy with ball distribution and the overall game plan on both sides of the ball.

     

    I do however agree with you here and it almost cost Buffalo the football game. Bills needed a TD on the last possession to seal the deal. Murray in the last minute of a football game vs Buffalo? We have seen this highlight reel before... 

     

    Thanks Virgil, much appreciated. You see the response.

     

    We like your unorganized thoughts.

    THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Gotta Like the Start

    Funny because from what I saw, we looked like an undisciplined, poorly-coached team that happens to have a Josh Allen.

    Sure you weren't watching Ken Dorsey and the Browns O?

     

    Poorly coached? 

     

    Awwwww come on man😜 ( I kid Doc)

     

    Thanks Shaww for another great review. Love hearing your take. The Bills/Allen spread the ball around well in the pass and run game. So well, it had me asking myself, why isn't Kincaid getting more touches, or Keon Coleman. Only so many balls to go around.  Diggs would have hated it. A formula by Joe Brady that compliments the D and wins football games.

     

    We discussed this in the past. Another horrible call by the officials in the 1st half really left a bad taste in my mouth, I could see it on the faces of the fans. Missed or wrong calls by the Officiating crew needs to be included in a red flag challenge IMO. Especially when the call or non call has a direct impact on game. Officials need to be officiated sometimes. Adds a little more integrity into the officiating part of the game.

     

    Its an easy fix IMO. 

     

    Go Bills!!! 

     

    Should the starters play some vs the Bears

    I kinda like Mitch. I love him as a backup. I really don’t want him exposed to injury either. Give him a drive or 2 then get him out too. Let the other kid play almost all of the pre season 

    As do I,

     

    Steeler O was just not a good fit for Trubs,(or anyone for that matter)

     

    but I like playing him so you can evaluate the rookies with an experienced pro QB.

    I hate that worry-wart mentality.
    It’s like these over-protective parents we have now who are afraid to let their kids walk to the school bus stop or climb a tree. 
    Josh might get hurt. Or…maybe he’ll be ready for the opener this time. It’s football, not duck duck goose. 

     

     Preseason is more about player evaluation then tune up IMO.

     

    I can understand considering Buffalos slow start in recent seasons why fans would want better preseason prep for the starters. I do believe however the Joe Brady O is a different beast that more embraces the mighty Buffalo. The Bills are going to run the football down our oppositions F ing throat from day one on.

     

    I billieve...

    No, don't play the starters.

     

    Vanilla schemes and inexperienced players trying to have an early impact to earn the start is a recipe for disaster in a meaningless game IMO. The Bills O Practices against a very good McD D. Same can be said about the Bills D vs O. More care is taken not to injure a fellow teammate.

    Keon Coleman Slow Jokes

    I will say this.........

     

    Everyone teases Coleman about his "supposed" lack of speed, but put on the game tape of him against LSU last year.

     

    You cannot come away from watching that tape thinking this guys stinks. 

     

    He was explosive, with great hands and power.

     

    I'm not saying he's going to be Anquan Boldin right out of the gate, but the skills are OBVIOUSLY there to be an immediate contributor. And if he is an immediate contributor, Allen will surely be in the MVP race (and hopefully SB MVP 😁).

     

    Attempted Assassination on President Trump (x2)

    Thanks.

    I've said this before. Why do I read/post in PPP given how no one is ever going to convince anyone of anything here?

    One of the reasons is that some posters actually have experience in an area I don't know about, and I appreciate this kind of input. Sometimes I learn something ...

    If we can all just learn one thing about the assassination attempt last night. Even with the type of ads we run vs a political opponent. Hopefully it's to tone down all the rhetoric.

     

    Unfortunately some people can be convinced enough to take matters into their own hands.

    THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - A Roster for McDermott to Work With

    I really don’t see the point in comparing the 2017 and 2024 rosters.  The franchise is in a completely different position now.

     

    The comparison with 2021 is much more relevant, and I think there is a chance this year’s roster compares favorably when we look back after this season.

     

    The keys are going to be which young players step up and which veteran additions meet expectations.

     

    I realize we have Josh Allen now, but when you say completely different position. How so? New Coaches at OC and DC and many new faces on the 2024 roster. Bills QB's also lost their number 1 target/WR traded away by Beane.

     

    More similarities then you think...

    TBD=Homerville.   I mean the majority of people here voted the Bills to make the SB this year while most of the predictions I have saw outside of TBD has us finishing 2nd or 3rd in the division.  But on TBD we are guaranteed to win the division and make the playoffs.  Take what you read on TBD with a bottle of salt

     

     

    When you have a QB like Josh Allen confidence just goes with the territory IMO.  

     

     

    Is James Cook a Top-Five All Time Bills Running Back?

    I have a couple of things to say.  First, this is a really good point.  Cook does fit the offense very nicely.  Drops and fumbles are a problem, but he fits nicely.  If the Bills win in the next few years, we'll probably be praising him.

     

    Second, unrelated to you post, is that many people here responded about stats.  They said he hasn't been playing long enough, as though in a few more years he'll have more total yards, and then he'll look better.   I wasn't talking about that.  I was talking the eyeball test.   I don't doubt that he'll put up nice numbers if he stays healthy, but I don't care about that.  

     

    I was talking about how useful a weapon he is, and I know that regardless of stats, he's not as useful as most the guys we've talked about in Bills history.  He's not a weapon who takes over games.  Take most of those other guys and put them in place of Cook, and the offense would be better.   And put Cook in the place of most of those guys, and those offenses would get worse.  You could count on McCoy and Lynch and Thomas and Simpson to carry you in games when nothing else was working.   Not Cook.  

     

    But having said that, you're correct, for this QB in this offense, he's a pretty effective guy to have. 

    Thanks for the reply Shaw,

     

    Its no secret Joe Brady wants to run the football. More from the RB position and I'm assuming less with Josh Allen IMO. Play complementary football. Rest the D, control the clock. Makes McD a happy clapper. We watched this winning formula transform the Bills as Buffalo surged forward for a playoff birth last season. The Bills are fielding a different kind of animal on O this coming up season. New identity. Keon Coleman is a beast. James Cook / production is going to benefit from the change in philosophy/ OC in my humble opinion. I'm expecting a break out season.
